Mobile MOBA: Best In Class

Feb 15, 2018

NGAjoe

I’ve dabbled in a few MOBAs on PC, and love the concept, but the community was awful, and the time commitment was unaffordable. Fast forward about six years, and I almost exclusively play video games on the phone these days (after kids are in bed). Arena of Valor combines a strong pedigree (produced by the owners of League of Legends), with a well-balanced community encouragement system, with great frame rates and visuals, mixed with a really nice tutorial that opens up the whole system for you over several days, mixed with joystick based controls that feel right at home on the phone. Oh, and disregard all the negative reviews about balance issues: This game has been out for *years* in China, so trust that those kinks have been smoothed out long ago—no offense to those reviewers but skilled players will win over unskilled players, all heroes have distinct strengths and weaknesses. I’ve played this longer than any multiplayer (video) game to date, to include my Counterstrike days. If you’re new to the concept of what a MOBA is or why you should play (you should), this is *the* one you want. And lastly, you don’t need to pay a cent to play with about a dozen different heroes and unlimited play time. You’ll be matched with players of equal skill regardless. This is a solidly constructed app that takes a serious competitive game and makes it accessible and fun to play at nearly any time. Have fun with this one! Most Recommended!

Fun Game

This game is definitely enjoyable, but I’m not sure I see too much skill involved as far as controls. I’ve only been playing for a few weeks, but so far, it seems as though gameplay just consists of spam buttons. It is extremely difficult to overcome an enemy that has had a better start than you, which gets frustrating sometimes. As a long time Vainglory player, the action spamming in this game is quite enjoyable for a change, but once you’ve played for a few days, there isn’t too much strategy and skill involved, unlike Vainglory. Once you understand your heroes abilities, and the fun of spamming the “attack” button with Valhein starts to wear off, the game starts to lose some fun. Also, in the rare occasion that both teams are pretty equal, late game is a little annoying. Both teams just bunch up in middle lane and try to push, which takes forever, and I feel like the game doesn’t move forward. I mean, both teams can just keep killing each other forever, so I feel like this game is in need of something like the “kraken from Vainglory”. Although it does have the dragons, they do not really change the flow of the game as much as I would hope. However, I love the colorful roster of heroes and the 5v5 action. Overall, I feel as though this game is only really fun on the winning team, but has great potential with the wonderful heroes, so far so good community, and well known developer. Hope this helps thanks!

Good game, some suggestions

Dec 21, 2017

As Tencent owns Riot games (creator of League Of Legends, which is a great game, play it now) I think they knew what they were doing when they created arena of valor. It’s a fun moba with everything you could want; a 3-lane map, a good roster of heroes, and a thorough tutorial. You should definitely download and give it a try. However I do have a couple of complaints/suggestions. Firstly, I think you should enforce the positions on a team (ie you queue up with, for example, jungler primary and top lane secondary and the game puts you on a team to fit in with one of those two positions, much like draft mode in League of Legends, only it doesn’t necessarily have to be a draft pick for characters, just that style of matchmaking). Every once in a while, you end up with someone who has a bot lane champ who shuns you out of mid lane, or have to go 2v1 on top lane and get crushed because your teammate followed the meta and was a jungler. Also, I would like an option for the reccomended item descriptions to not turn off after a while, because sometimes I’m in a teamfight and the descriptions turn off and later its inconvenient to have to open the shop. To sum things up, Arena of Valor is a great game with a couple of flaws, and it is definitely worth checking out. Good luck in ranked games, and have a wonderful day.
